Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holographic recording medium, and more specifically to a holographic disk medium with an improved servo structure.
  • the invention further relates to an optical pickup for this holographic recording medium.
  • holographic data storage digital data are stored by recording the interference pattern produced by the superposition of two coherent laser beams.
  • One advantage of holographic data storage is the possibility to store multiple data in the same volume, e.g. by changing the angle between the two beams or the wavelength, by using phase-coded reference beams, etc.
  • the physical properties of the holographic storage system during readout have to be the same as during recording.
  • the reference beam needs to have the same wavelength, the same wavefront error, the same beam profile, the same phase code if phase coding multiplexing is used, etc.
  • the hologram has to be illuminated under the same angle and at the same position. For a precise controlling of the necessary focusing and tracking servo it is advantageous to have a servo layer as an additional layer underneath the holographic material of a holographic recording medium.
  • this object is achieved by a holographic recording medium with a hologram layer for storing holograms and a servo layer for positioning a light beam for reading and/or recording of a hologram relative to the holographic recording medium, wherein the servo layer is an essentially flat recording layer.
  • the invention eliminates the need to produce the above mentioned flattening layer by using a blank disk substrate in combination with a dedicated recording layer. This greatly simplifies manufacturing of the holographic recording medium.
  • the recording layer By applying the recording layer onto a mirror-like, unformatted surface, wavefront distortions caused by a preformatted substrate do not occur.
  • any servo structure can be recorded into the recording layer, for example a DVD-like servo layer.
  • the recording layer is favorably realized using a phase change or dye material. For maintaining the recording layer flat even after recording of the servo structure, it is advantageous if the material of the recording undergoes no or only a small extension upon recording.
  • the servo information is favorably provided after the media fabrication.
  • the servo information advantageously includes one of a spiral track or concentric tracks. These are recorded with a high-precise recorder system, e.g. a spin-stand, as it is similarly used for disk mastering. With multi-beam technology this kind of medium initialization is performed sufficiently fast and does not hamper manufacturing of the recording medium with sufficient low cycle times, especially if a simple track structure is applied.
  • a holographic pickup is provided for this purpose in a holographic storage system.
  • the pickup further includes a light source for generating a light beam, which interacts with the recording layer for recording servo information.
  • the material of the recording layer is sensitive to a first wavelength but insensitive to a second wavelength.
  • the servo information can be recorded with the servo light beam, e.g. by increasing the power of the servo light beam, but remains uninfluenced by the holographic light beams.
  • the recording layer is deposited in such a way that a focused light beam is able to record servo information, whereas a non-focused or less well focused light beam is not.
  • the material of the recording layer is neither sensitive to the wavelength of the servo light beam nor sensitive to the wavelength of the holographic light beams, but sensitive to a third wavelength.
  • the servo information is recorded with a dedicated light source emitting a light beam at the third wavelength.
  • a focused light beam it is also possible to record the servo information in a single step using a mask for illuminating the complete recording layer.
  • part of the servo information is recorded in a single illuminating step, whereas another part is recorded using a focused light beam. This allows, inter alia, to record certain general servo information as part of the media fabrication, whereas more specific or user generated servo information is recorded during use of the holographic recording medium.
  • the recording layer has dichroic properties with regard to a wavelength used for a servo light beam and a wavelength used for holographic light beams. This means that the information recorded in the recording layer does not cause a reflectivity or phase modulation of the holographic light beams. In this way the dichroic layer is no longer necessary and can be omitted, which further simplifies manufacturing of the holographic recording medium.
  • the holographic recording medium is a holographic disk.
  • the invention is likewise applicable to other types of holographic recording media, such as a holographic storage card etc.
  • holographic data storage digital data are stored by recording the interference pattern produced by the superposition of two coherent laser beams.
  • An exemplary setup of a holographic pickup 1 for use in a holographic storage system is shown in Fig. 1 .
  • a source of coherent light e.g. a laser diode 2
  • emits a light beam 3 which is collimated by a collimating lens 4.
  • the light beam 3 is in a blue or green wavelength range.
  • the light beam 3 is then divided into two separate light beams 6, 7.
  • the division of the light beam 3 is achieved using a beam splitter BS.
  • a spatial light modulator (SLM) 5 modulates one of the two beams, the so called “object beam” 6, to imprint a 2-dimensional data pattern.
  • Both the object beam 6 and the further beam, the so called “reference beam” 7, are focused into a holographic recording medium 9, e.g. a holographic disk, by an objective lens 8.
  • a holographic recording medium e.g. a holographic disk
  • an objective lens 8 At the intersection of the object beam 6 and the reference beam 7 an interference pattern appears, which is recorded in a photo-sensitive layer of the holographic recording medium 9.
  • the stored data are retrieved from the holographic recording medium 9 by illuminating a recorded hologram with the reference beam 7 only.
  • the reference beam 7 is diffracted by the hologram structure and produces a copy of the original object beam 6, the reconstructed object beam 10.
  • This reconstructed object beam 10 is collimated by the objective lens 8 and directed onto a 2-dimensional array detector 12, e.g. a CCD-array, by a first beam splitter 11.
  • the array detector 12 allows to reconstruct the recorded data.
  • the holographic recording medium 9 is provided with a servo layer.
  • the holographic pickup 1 includes a further light source 13 for generating a servo light beam 14.
  • the servo light beam 14 usually is in a red wavelength range.
  • the servo light beam 14 is collimated by a further collimating lens 15 and coupled into the beam path of the object and reference beams 6, 7 by a second beam splitter 17.
  • the servo light beam 14 is then focused onto the servo layer by the objective lens 8.
  • the light beam reflected by the servo layer is again collimated by the objective lens 8 and directed towards a detector 20 by the second beam splitter 17 and a third beam splitter 18.
  • the servo light beam 14 advantageously has a different wavelength than the object and the reference beams 6, 7.
  • a wavelength selective beam splitter can be used as the second beam splitter 17.
  • the servo light beam 14 in addition is a linearly polarized light beam, which allows to implement the third beam splitter 18 as a polarization selective beam splitter.
  • the path of the servo light beam 14 then includes a quarter wave plate 16 for rotating the direction of polarization of the reflected servo light beam 14 by 90 degrees relative to the direction of polarization of the servo light beam 14 emitted by the light source 13.
  • the servo light beam 14 is focused onto the holographic recording medium 9 with the same objective lens 8 as the light beams 6, 7 used for holographic recording.
  • the servo light beam 14 acts as a reference for the light beam 6, 7 used for holographic recording. Due to their different wavelengths and their different collimation the holographic light beams 6, 7 and the servo light beam 14 have different foci.
  • FIG. 2 A cross sectional view of a known holographic recording medium 9 is shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the holographic recording medium 9 has a hologram layer 96 and a servo layer 92.
  • the servo light beam 14 is focused onto a guiding structure of the servo layer 92, which is illustrated by the sawtooth-like boundary between the servo layer 92 and a flattening layer 93.
  • the size of the guiding structure is exaggerated for illustration purposes.
  • he holographic light beams 6, 7 are focused as appropriate for the chosen holographic recording process through the hologram layer 96 and a spacer layer 95 onto a dichroic mirror layer 94, which is transparent for the wavelength of the servo light beam 14, but reflective for the wavelength of the holographic light beams 6, 7.
  • the servo layer 92 is arranged above a substrate 91 and separated from the mirror layer 94 by the flattening layer 93.
  • Located above the hologram layer 96 is a cover layer 97. It is likewise possible to place the servo layer 92 above the hologram layer 96, separated by an adapted flattening layer 93.
  • the distortions of the holographic light beams 6, 7 caused by the servo layer 92 have to be compensated, e.g. by increasing the distance between the hologram layer 96 and the servo layer 92 such that the holographic beams 6, 7 have a comparatively large diameter when passing the servo layer 92.
  • Fig. 3 depicts a cross sectional view of a holographic recording medium 9 according to the invention.
  • the servo layer 92 and the flattening layer 93 are replaced by a dedicated recording layer 98, preferably a recording layer made of a phase change or dye material.
  • the recording layer 98 is arranged on an essentially flat (unformatted) substrate 91 and is thus also essentially flat.
  • the recording layer 98 thus has no pits or depressions.
  • the recording layer 98 is realized, for example, with a phase change or dye material.
  • Recorded into the recording layer 98 is servo information 99.
  • the recording layer 98 is advantageously designed in such a way, that in particular no reflectivity or phase modulation of the holographic light beams 6, 7 is caused by the servo information 99.
  • the dichroic mirror layer 94 can be omitted, as depicted in Fig. 3 .
  • the dedicated recording layer 98 is applied onto a mirror-like surface, wavefront distortions from a preformatted substrate do not occur.
  • the recording layer 98 thus eliminates the need for the flattening layer 93. Consequently, any track or servo structure can be recorded into the recording layer 98, e.g. a DVD-like servo structure having tracks.
  • the servo information 99 is applied after the media fabrication. In case of optical disks, the servo information 99 includes a spiral data track or concentric data tracks. These tracks are preferably recorded with a high-precise recorder system, as it is similarly used for disk mastering.
